If you get the India call center, they always defer to BA central reservations as they do not seem to have any authority to change much on the phone. I have not had any luck with any issues at the India call center. Also, I have not had good experience at the agent level at LHR. I hope you can do better than I and I hope you prove me wrong! I would talk to both BA and QR. IMHO I would just fly to JNB and start the JNB RTW as is to not put the RTW ticket $$ at risk!
Please let me know what the result was.
Good luck!
I’m an hour out of Doha so we’ll see how it resolves. The challenge is that I need to join the meetings as calls so can’t catch the later JNB leg. I am worried I will be caught between the cracks - QR not feeling responsible for the RTW ticket and BA not feeling responsible for the QR delay! Will let you know how it pans out.
